Five ways to enjoy the Shonan International Marathon.

The Shonan International Marathon is one of the most popular marathons among citizen runners in Japan. The 19th Shonan International Marathon was held on December 1, 2024. The Shonan International Marathon was launched as the world's first "My Bottle, My Cup" marathon, in which runners carry their own bottles and cups, and the event also serves as an opportunity to raise environmental awareness. Here are some tips on how to enjoy the event more deeply from the perspective of a handsome member of the Hui-Nam Running Club, who has been participating in this event every year!

Another characteristic of the Shonan International Marathon is that there are many fashionable runners who are particular about their clothing and shoes. We took a snapshot of runners dressed in their favorite styles at the venue before the start of the marathon. We also took a look at the gear they choose to store their own bottles in a smart way.

I run a full marathon once a season. This Shonan International Marathon is also my entry for the full marathon. I achieved my long-sought sub-3 finish at the Seoul Marathon in March this year. Today, I want to go even further than I did then, and aim to break my personal best!"

I have participated in various marathons, including full marathons, half marathons, and triathlons, but this will be my first Shonan International Marathon. Today I will be participating in the Fun Run 10 km. I am looking forward to it because the weather is nice. I want to run comfortably along the Shonan seaside."

Today I am participating in a full marathon. This is my first full marathon since the Shonan International Marathon two years ago. Last time I ran this event, I thought it was great that I could water at my own pace. My goal this time is to finish the race within 4 hours. I will do my best!

I live in Kamakura and regularly run along the coast of Shonan. This is my first time participating in a race like this. Today I will be participating in the Fun Run 10K. I hope to run about 6 minutes per kilometer while having fun, and finish the race in about one hour.
